When asked if he was concerned about the recent play of the All-World netminder, Julien gave a very definitive "No."
Still, the coach said he plans on using Kinkaid at some point over the weekend, and the Farmingville, NY native says he's perfectly ready to step in and try to help.
"That's part of my job. If it does happen, I just have to give my team the best chance to win. Whether that's being a game changer just for one game to help us, or just a change of pace," stated Kinkaid, who has a 1-1-2 record this season. "I just have to do my job, stop every puck as it comes. Don't focus on anything if you let up a goal. Forget about it right away. If I am in net, I'm just going to do my best to give my team a shot. I've been working hard in and out of the gym and on the ice, and I'm ready."
The Canadiens take on the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. at the Bell Centre. For tickets,
